Why buy new?
The benefits of buying a new build home go much further than just the feeling of your new home being fresh, clean and sparkly brand new. Below are just a few.
Save you Money
According to the House Builders Federation, owners of new build homes are saving on average £2,200 per year in energy costs compared to owners of older houses. New houses are designed with enhanced insulation, double glazing and cost-effective boiler systems which result in lower energy consumption.
Energy Efficient
New build homes are rated with much higher EPCs than existing dwellings. For homes logged in the year to Dec 2022, 85% of new builds were rated A or B for energy efficiency, while under 4% of existing dwellings reached the same standards.
Reduce Carbon Emissions
The average new build home emits a third of the carbon of older properties, reducing emissions by 2.5 tonnes each year. Homes in the UK account for 20% of our greenhouse gas emissions, so improving the energy efficiency of our homes is at the top of the agenda for Stonebridge Homes.
Local Amenities
Buying a new home is perfect when you have children, as housing developments have a great sense of community. This means that kids can meet other kids and play in the green spaces available, and parents can gather together to forge new friendships.
Excellent Locations
At Stonebridge, we understand that location is one of, if not the most important factor when moving home. This is why our new housing developments have been specifically chosen in some of the most sought-after areas.
Flexible Living
Working from home is the new norm and with a new build you can use that extra room as an office, and you can ensure your outdoor entertaining space is perfect for relaxing with family and friends.
Choice of House Types
We build a huge range of property styles on all of our developments – including 2, 3, 4 and 5-bedroom homes. This means you are able to choose a home with a layout and appearance that is just right for you, your family and your lifestyle.
No Chain Hassle
You’ll be able to move into your new home as soon as it is complete with no worries or hassle over other owners moving out, delaying their completion dates, or pulling out of the sale altogether.
Modern Specification
All of our new homes are built to the highest specification. By using modern materials and building techniques as well as the latest technology, fixtures and fittings; the specification is guaranteed to be better than in an older, second-hand home.
Blank Canvas
Here at Stonebridge Homes, we believe one of the best things about buying a brand-new home is that it’s a blank canvas, so you can put your own design stamp on it from top to bottom. Whether it be furniture, the colour scheme, the accessories, you can make it the home of your dreams from the get-go.
Personalise Your New Home
Whilst Stonebridge Homes is renowned for providing the highest possible level of specification, we understand that you may wish to tailor certain aspects and add that touch of ‘individuality’. We offer a comprehensive range of upgrades on carefully selected products, fixtures and fittings.
Unseen Costs of Renovating
We’ve all heard stories of people buying an old home only to discover afterwards that they need so much more than just a lick of paint!
Flexible Living
Working from home is the new norm and with a new build you can use that extra room as an office. Some of our house types even have a ‘space above the garage’ that can be used for whatever your heart desires, whether it be an office for working from home, a games room, or a living space for additional family members – the possibilities are endless.
Affordable with Own New
With Own New, you can buy a new build home with significant reduced mortgage rates or smaller deposits. Own New offers two great products: the Rate Reducer and the Deposit Drop, both of which are designed to make home ownership available to more people.
